Slightly freaking iut



Recommended Posts

My nutrition appointment is Tuesday and I have gained weight so I’m freaking out. I don’t want this to effect everything I’ve been working for. I told my nutritionist that this always happens and she insisted it was in my head. I had lost about 16lbs and then I was on a stand still for 2 months. Whenever I hit a plateau, my weight just starts coming back, like no matter what I do I gain. I’m so stressed out about this. Does anyone know if this is going to mess up everything I’ve been working towards? I’m right at the end, about to submit paperwork next month. I’m at a loss for what to do

I lost 15 lbs then right before surgery I gained back 9lbs (it was my last thanksgiving with old stomach!). It was no problem. My surgeon said that some people don’t lose anything and that wasn’t a problem either. In fact, it’s a reason we get this surgery. Other methods (diet and exercise) haven’t worked for us.

From my first appointment, I gained 20 lbs over the 6 months of weigh-ins leading up to submitting to insurance. UHC approved my surgery.

Hopefully my insurance is understanding. Thank you both for your replies. The gain is super upsetting for me

When you started your program they weighed you. That is your starting weight. As long as you don't go over that starting weight I don't think you should have any worries.

I definitely didn’t get to that point. Thank you

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
